Murky Manor

When Meredith visits Murky Manor there is more mystery than just the fog surrounding the house. She discovers an old cup that affects the weather. Before she can figure it out, others become interested in the cup. There are creatures that appear to be made of mist and a strange girl who claims she is from another world and the cup belongs to her.

After reading fantasy for many years, we took up the pen and began writing. Our stories are children’s fantasy tales about travel and discovery. These are not the trips advertised in a colorful adventure brochure. These journeys begin by stepping through a secret door into a gnome world, or using a magnifying glass to slip into a picture. Sometimes worlds merge together in mist, or time overlaps in the darkness of a cave.

In the sunlight, our modest home is not nearly as enchanting as the gnome house of our imagination. The maple and dogwoods in our yard do not have secret doors, at least none that we have discovered. Gnomes sitting in the grass amid the dandelions appear to be simple statuary. But when things are bathed in silky moonlight, when clouds gather and add texture to the sky, or at dusk and dawn when stars are like freckles on the heavens, it is then the shadows and light give delightful hints of things that inspire the imagination.

As any writer will tell you, a story is meant to be shared. We hope you enjoy our books.
